Rob and Rebe are such kind people who put their heart and soul into the Finca and it shows. I had so much fun working on the turtle project, doing yoga and Spanish lessons, and going to the beach with other volunteers. The food was so so good and we all sat around the table for three meals a day, which really contributes to the community feel of the place. The work asked of volunteers is more than reasonable and most often fun, and you get to learn about sustenance farming in the jungle. Overall a great experience, highly recommended, and I'm excited to see how the Finca continues to grow!

I spent 3 weeks at the eco village and it was an amazing time. It was my first world packers experience and I could not have asked for a better host. Rob and Rebe are so dedicated to their volunteers and project which shows through everything from the accommodations, to work, to turtle project, and social events. The project was just outside of Drake Bay beside el Progreso. It is quite remote but allows you to get to know the locals and help out with the community. Rebes vegan cooking and yoga were AMAZING. Robs Spanish classes and knowledge of sustainability taught me so much. 10/10 time!

I truly loved my stay at the eco village. I even extended a couple of days and would have extended longer if I could. Rob and Rebe are amazing hosts and I felt part of the family from the moment I walked in to their beautiful sanctuary surrounded by nature.They are very flexible and take each persons preferences into consideration when planning the days. From my stay I have, amongst other things, learnt how to cook delicious and healthy food and I felt like I got to be part of something bigger helping out with the turtle project. I am forever grateful I chose the eco village as my first program.

Rob and Rebe are your Costa Rican mom and dad. Was my first program and their energy and passion and warmth made me feel so welcome and they really do their best to make sure you feel at home in their beautiful sanctuary in the jungle (which is also walking distance from the beach!). I had the most amazing time releasing baby sea turtles and learning about conservation, patrolling the beach and finding mama sea turtles, working in the garden, learning how to cook a variety of plant-based meals, doing yoga, having Spanish classes, and overall just having an incredible time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

This was my first volunteer experience and it was amazing! Rob and Rebe made me feel like I instantly had a home there. The work on the farm and with the turtles didn't even really feel like work because it was so fulfilling. On top of that Rebe's cooking was so delicious I will forever be missing her meals. I learned how to cool so many new vegan recipes, and we got to take free spanish and yoga classes. If you love to be surrounded by nature, good people and have great food I would recommend going there! I would 100% love to go back one day.

Realmente mi experiencia fue extremadamente súper adora! Vine por 2 semanas y me termine quedando un mes. Y eso que estuve en periodos de lluvia, pero el lugar Rob y Rebe hicieron que los dias pasaran muy divertidos. No puedo dejar de destacar las cosas maravillosas de experiencia, la comida,lecciones de yoga, inglés/ español, biología de las planetas y de las tortugas marinas que visitan estas playas, caminatas hacia la playa con los perros de la finca ( Manolo, Bambi. Y lorenzo) tuve la oportunidad también de ayudar con la conservación de las tortugas marinas,. Volvería a este lugar

I highly recommend going to the eco village!! It was an incredible experience. Rob and Rebe were wonderful hosts. They made me feel like a part of the family while I was there. The food was beyond delicious (thanks Rebe!) and the turtles were adorable. It was a great place to disconnect from the world for a while and connect with nature and some really good people. I am going to miss the sounds of the jungle and evenings in the cocktail tower. I am very thankful for my time at the eco village and the memories I created. I hope to return again some day!

My time at the eco village was everything I hoped and more. I felt 100% at home, and I attribute that in no small part not only to the beautiful facilities, but to the amazing people at the Finca. I had a lot of fun with the other volunteers I met there, and Rob and Rebe are wonderful hosts and people. They are both full of spirit, funny, and caring. The work is really organized, and both Rob and Rebe have perfectly reasonable expectations of work loads and rest. Amazing food, learned so much, and if I had one piece of advice, stay as long as you can because, like me, you wont want to leave.

During my stay at the eco village I learnt a lot about sustainable agriculter and sea turtles. The daily tasks are diversified and perfect to learn new skills. The beaches are beautiful and good for swimming, if your up for some heavy beachbreaks😜. Drake Bay is about 20 - 40 minutes away, dependig on the weather... and also has some nice restaurants. There are different activities in the area, such as diving, visiting the wildlife resort, etc. Would definitly recommend it.

Rob, Rebe, and their 3 dogs accepted me into their home right away. I feel apart of the family and loved it so much that I'll be coming back later this year. I learned, laughed, enjoyed nature, and met amazing people.
